When looking for a lease for my X5 45e. I contacted 4 leasing firms here in Belgium. None of them allowed a residual value of more than >30% on 4 years (one even 25%). That is 28.000 euro for a 93.000 euro car.
In the end I went for the BMW financial offer because they allowed a higher residual value (35%) and didn't require an anti-theft system to be installed (2 leasing firms required this)
